Senior Electrical Building Services Engineer

Job Description:

Senior Electrical Building Services Engineer

Nottingham (Office-based)
£45,000 - £55,000 (DOE)

An established, long-standing Building Services consultancy with over 50 years' industry presence is looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their growing Nottingham office.

This is a business with a strong pipeline of secured work and an enviable client base, delivering projects across healthcare, public sector, commercial, leisure, and specialist sectors. With around 80% of work coming from repeat clients, they've built a reputation for quality delivery and long-term partnerships - to the point where new work consistently lands without the need for active business development.

You'll take ownership of electrical design delivery across a diverse portfolio, overseeing projects from initial survey through to handover. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where engineers are trusted to manage the full lifecycle, rather than being siloed into specific stages.

Projects are varied and engaging, including:

• Healthcare schemes and NHS frameworks
• Large-scale leisure developments (including significant work with Center Parcs)
• Long-term retail partnerships (notably a 15+ year relationship with Urban Outfitters across the UK & Europe)
• Decarbonisation projects within the education sector
• Emergency services and fire & rescue frameworks

You'll be client-facing, working closely with stakeholders, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure technically robust and commercially viable solutions.

• Electrical design from concept through to RIBA Stage 7
• Production of calculations, specifications, drawings, and tender documentation
• Coordination with wider MEP and sustainability teams
• Client and design team engagement
• Site inspections, reporting, and quality assurance
• Supporting feasibility studies and technical reports

• 5+ years' experience in electrical building services design
• Strong working knowledge of BS 7671, emergency lighting, and fire alarms
• Comfortable in a client-facing role with strong communication skills
• Experience delivering projects within a consultancy or contractor environment
• Relevant qualification (HNC/HND/Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar)
• Competent with AutoCAD and electrical design software
• Full UK driving licence

• Well-established consultancy with a strong reputation and long-term client relationships
• Diverse project portfolio with no pigeon-holing - engineers are encouraged to be well-rounded
• Growing team with continued investment, including a £40k office refurbishment to expand capacity
• Collaborative, close-knit environment with engineers working closely together on a daily basis

• £45,000 - £55,000 (DOE)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Private healthcare
• Pension scheme
• Flexible working hours
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Retail & leisure discounts platform
• Clear pathway towards Chartership

This is a great opportunity for a well-rounded engineer who wants real ownership, variety in their work, and the chance to be part of a busy, stable consultancy with a strong reputation and consistent workload.
